Constitutional Convention vote on Marriage Equality Ireland

I received this email for Marriage Equality Ireland, I would like to pass on the invite to any Realjockers interested in joining the gathering;

"We all remember where we were when the important things happened; your first boyfriend/girlfriend/first kiss; the first pride march in Ireland/the first time you became aware of Pride!; the day homosexuality was decriminalised (or when you first read about it a realised it was ONLY 1993!); the day civil partnership was introduced; the moment in time that you realised marriage equality will become a reality.....

That day is almost here; the Constitutional Convention is meeting THIS weekend and will be voting on whether to recommend to Government to provide for marriage equality on Sunday. Marriage Equality, GLEN & LGBT Noise want to celebrate this milestone with you. The wonderful Panti Bar will be opening early at 12.30pm on Sunday (14 April) to show the live results of the vote and we would love to see you there!

LGBT Noise will be lovin' it up outside the Gaiety Theatre (South King Street) at 12pm by having a "Kiss-In" to mark the vote and they would love to see you there!

So please do join us all in Panti Bar, either for the results at 12.45pm, or after the Noise 'Kiss In' to celebrate what will be an important milestone in the history of LGBT rights!"

According to the Irish Independent it looks like the Constitutional Convention will call for a referendum on marriage equality.

I can't even imagine something like this happening in Ireland when I was growing up there. Tanker is right, we're finally progressing fast, especially when you consider how much of a firm grip the Catholic Church had in the Republic up to the turn of the century.

I partially attribute this to the priest molestation scandal that drove church attendance down to 16%. Sometimes good really does come from evil.

I wish my dance performances at the Gathering this year coincided with this event. Damn you scheduling. Damn you Atlantic Ocean.
